Cecile's snorkeling adventure wasn't as good as she was hoping for. The guide, who was hoping to stay on the boat the whole time, ended up having to dive down and scare up some fish for the snorkelers.
Later that evening, John & Lynne and Cecile & Gary went out to see the famous Acapulco cliff divers. It is put on as a show, twice a day, and they get quite a crowd for every show. The divers (there were about ten of them) walk through the waiting crowd, climb over a rock wall, climb down a forty (or so) foot cliff and then dive another twenty feet down into the channel. They they reach the other side of the channel (about fifty feet of swimming) and then climb up the opposing cliff to their various stations. Two of the divers end up climbing all the way to the top, about 140 above the water. The divers then dive into the water one at a time from various places on the cliff. I assume it is based on the skill/experience level of the individual divers...who were all young kids. Since it was dark only one of the pictures came out but it was fun to watch.
